title: [Malignant melanoma in café-au-lait spot].
abstract: A 17-year-old female patient developed a superficially spreading malignant melanoma (level III, thickness 0.91 mm) on a typical café-au-lait spot. There were no metastases, as yet. On the basis of this unusual case, we discuss the incidence of development of malignant melanoma on melanotic spots.
